Service Messages
Host events
This section describes the messages generated by host registration or other host activity within
the storage network:
Host addition
When a new host is configured for use within the storage network, a host addition
confirmation message is generated. This message appears in the following format:
RPIC DPF : HOST hadd : Host added to lookup table : Index %d :
WWN %s : HBA mask 0x%x
This message is recorded in the event log. The first number, which is represented in decimal
format, indicates the table index at which the new host has been inserted into the lookup table.
The second value, which is presented in a string format, contains the world wide name
(WWN) of the new host. The final value, in hexadecimal, represents the target port mask
assigned to the host.
The target port mask is a bit array presented as a single value. Each bit within the mask
indicates whether the host may access the target port represented by the bit. For each bit, a
value of one (1) indicates that the host may connect to that target port. A value of zero (0)
indicates that the host may not connect on that port. With bit ordering, bit zero represents
target port zero and is the least significant bit of the byte. As an example of mask
interpretation, a host that could connect to target ports zero and two would show a target port
mask equal to 0x5, since bits two and zero would be set to one, and all other bits would be
zero.
This message is used for information purposes only and is not indicative of a problem within
the storage network.
Host name registration
When a host is registered through the appliance registration utility, a confirmation message is
generated. This message appears in the following format:
RPIC DPF : HOST hnam : Host name registered : Index %d :
Hostname %s : OS %s
This message is recorded in the event log. The first number, which is represented in decimal
format, indicates the table index at which the host appears within the lookup table. The second
value, which is presented in a string format, contains the hostname of the new host. The final
value, which also appears in string format, is a representation of the reported operating system
running on that host.
This message is used for information purposes only and is not indicative of a problem within
the storage network.
